With a rebellious spirit, Martin Bradley began his career as an artist at a very early age, settling in London in 1949. In the mid-50s, Bradley became friends with the writers of the group 'The Angry Young Men,' transcendental writers within the British literary renewal, meeting there other young painters, such as Philip Martin or Alan Davie. In 1961, he received a scholarship to settle in Brazil, where he achieved great success and which led him to exhibit, upon his return to Europe, in the historic exhibition 'Arte e Contemplazione' at the Palazzo Grassi in Venice. After his success in Italy and Spain, Bradley traveled the world, crossing Turkey, Afghanistan, India, and Nepal, becoming fascinated by the Far East. Initially, the work of this artist shows a self-destructive tendency, although it evolves into pieces with fresh craftsmanship, vivid colors, extreme fantasy, and sympathetic appearance, resulting in works that are part of the English Pop movement. However, contrasting this positivism, a series of graphics, signs, and symbologies that allude to critiques of traditional customs and reflections on the passage of time are perceived, characteristics that make Bradley's paintings tremendously interesting works full of nuances.
